"Maze, you can't tell anyone" said a girl
"Why?! I can see you!" Maze said in excitement
"I don't want to risk anything" the girl replied
"Paige, it's been so difficult being without you" Maze said before Lilith opened the door.
------------------------------------------------------
Tonight was the night that Lilith promised to bring back their mother, Ophelia planned everything out, she picked the spot in the center of the woods near the cemetery where the light from the moon would shine.
Lilith kept her secret about what happened last night, that someone came in and strangled her then took away her vampire strengths, Lilith grabbed foundation and color correcting concealer to hopefully cover up her bruises.
Most of the bruises were covered, but it still hurt for Lilith to move her neck, meanwhile everyone at the Salvatore house was trying to find Lilith and Ophelia, they all even started working with The Originals to find them since they were so desperate.
Ophelia knocks on the master bathroom door, Lilith opens it and Ophelia asks Lilith to help her get the stele from Hell and Heaven.
"Lia I've already tried to get the stele, instead I saw Maze and she told me you were alive" Lilith said
"You tried, an evil source trying to get something that has good magic within" Ophelia replies
"Then why would you need me to help?" Lilith asked
"Because, since we are stronger together as one, we could claim the stele from Heaven that our father hid away" Ophelia said, "The stele from Hell could easily just be claimed by me".
"Okay, but why do we need it?" Lilith asked
"Our mother will have no power, I'm allowing her to have mine" Ophelia said
"What? Are you insane?" Lilith screams
"It was her power once Lilith, she will be weak" Ophelia said
"So will you!" Lilith replies, "You are not going to give her your magic, you and I are the Countess and the Enchantress, we don't just give away our powers, we are royalty, we've had people bow down to us".
"Okay well we can bow down to our mother" Ophelia said
Lilith walks closer to her sister and slaps her, then she grabs her sister face to make her look at her in the eyes, Lilith's eyes went black, "You will not, do you understand? you will keep your magic and mother can use the stele she chooses, from Hell or Heaven, but you will NOT give up your powers" Lilith said letting go of Ophelia's face and walking away.
Ophelia stands there as she began to cry, Lilith calls out to her from the living room, Ophelia walks out and Maze has to talk to them, Maze has informed the sisters that the Triad has woken.
The Triad is a group of Gods from Heaven that form together as one, they only are woken when a disaster is going to happen upon them.
"The bloody hell, they have been asleep for decades, what made them wake?" Lilith asked
"She did" Mazikeen said looking at Ophelia
"Me, why me?" Ophelia asked
"You want to wake your mother, your father doesn't want that to happen" Mazikeen said
Ophelia and Lilith look at one another, "You still want to do this?" Lilith asked, Ophelia nods, "Mother shall wake today".
Ophelia walks towards the window, she sees three people standing out from the hotel looking up, two men, one blonde and the other has black hair, there with them was a woman, she also had brown hair, but it was long.
They had a marking on their neck, a rune, it was a symbol of Angelic Power.
They wore black, the black haired male wore a leather vest over his black shirt with jeans, the blonde haired male wore just a simple black shirt and jeans as well, while the female was wearing red lipstick and a black dress that showed a lot of skin with heels.
They were Shadowhunters, Ophelia had to get the main steles from Hell and Heaven so that the Shadowhunters could get theirs.
Shadowhunters do not use firearms; their basic armaments are hand to hand or projectile weapons, which come in several variations and categories.
Most of their weapons are forged by the Countess, Ophelia, and marked with runes to at least be slightly effective against demons.
Shadowhunters usually have a preferred weapon, or weapons they specialize in. Shadowhunters are also trained to battle with weapons improvised from the environment, in the event that weapons are not available, and even without weapons, using only their own body, strength and speed as a weapon.
Shadowhunters are known to hide weapons in churches for their use in case of emergencies, since some forms of demons can only be killed and fought through a certain method of a belief system.
As long as Shadowhunters cleave to no single religion, all religions will assist in their battle. The weapons are usually hidden by a church's altar, with the Nephilim rune drawn over its hiding place.
Certain elemental weapons are more effective against certain species of Downworlders: faeries are weakened by blessed iron, silver powder and bullets against lycanthropes, vervain, wooden stakes, and vampires, while white oak and ash are used against the originals, ect.
The weapons that Shadowhunters are known for using are Seraph blades, these are the most and primary weapon of the Nephilim that is capable of dealing permanent damage against demons, Seraph blades are activated when their name is called. It is said to be stronger the louder the angel's name is called. Seraph blades are an efficient way to kill demons and Downworlders.
Although they are chiefly for the killing of demons and rogue Downworlders, seraph blades are known to also affect angels.
Maze walks over to Ophelia and looks out the window, "What are you staring at?"
Ophelia looks up at Maze, "Nothing, just the view" Ophelia smiled
"Okay girls, lets get going to the woods" Lilith said
"What, it's only 12, the full moon isn't till 11 pm" Maze said
"Yeah well, I need to take care of some things, unless Maze you would like to stay with my sister in this hotel room?" Lilith asked
Maze looks at Ophelia as she's still looking out the window, "Yeah sure, that's fine".
Lilith is shocked, "Oh... okay then, I'll be back in like an hour" Lilith said
Lilith walks out the door, Lilith was secretly texting Stefan about meeting up in the woods near the Lockwood cellar, Stefan hadn't told anyone where he was going and neither did Lilith.
When Lilith arrived, she saw Stefan standing by a tree, he looked up at her and asked why she wanted to meet up.
"Thanks for coming" Lilith said
"Why am I here, Lilith" Stefan asked
"I need your help" Lilith begged
"Why would I help you after you hurt Elena yesterday?" Stefan asked
"She was going to call us out, I needed her to quiet down" Lilith said
"Yeah so throwing her is the best idea" Stefan said
"It was the only idea at the time, you know I could've snapped her neck, would've been much faster" Lilith replies.
"Okay Stefan look, someone tried to kill me last night" Lilith said
"How, you can't die" Stefan asked
"Thats what I thought because Kellina is a vampire, I would come back and all my wounds would heal, but" Lilith said as she grabbed a makeup wipe from her bag as she started to wipe the makeup off her neck. "I haven't been healing, this bruise has been there since last night", Lilith said.
Stefan takes a closer look at Lilith's neck, "How do I know it's not just makeup?" Stefan asked
Lilith looked down and grabs a sharp rock, she pressed it against her palm and cuts it, she began to bleed and Stefan looks away to fight the hunger, "Stefan look, I'm not healing" she said, shoving it in Stefans face.
"So you're not a vampire anymore" Stefan asked
"Which is impossible because I'm in a hybrid body" Lilith said
Stefan looks at Lilith's palm as the blood started to drip more and more, he felt the hunger rushing back, "You need to go, I don't want to hurt you"
"No, Stefan I need your help!" Lilith yelled.
Stefan pushes Lilith and his veins show up, he flashes his fangs to Lilith to scare her, "Stefan you don't want to do this, think of your feelings for Kellina, you wouldn't hurt her" Lilith said
Stefan lets go of Lilith, "Wait if you're not a vampire anymore, what happened to her" Stefan asked worryingly
"I don't know, what I need is to find the man who did this to me, the guy who visited me last night" Lilith said
"Okay, well we can just look for him tonight" Stefan said
"No I can't" Lilith replied
"Why?" Stefan asked
"Because I promised Ophelia that I would help bring our mother back" Lilith said.
"Wait, isn't your mom dead" asked Stefan
"Yeah, that's what I thought too, basically she's been with us this whole time, her soul lives on in my ruby and Ophelia's emerald"
"So you trapped your mother in your ruby full of tortured souls?" Stefan asked
"No, she basically trapped herself in there".
"Okay, well then we should start now, with the basics" Stefan said
Lilith nods her head, Stefan and Lilith start to walk to the Mystic Grill, Matt is with Jeremy and this girl, Matt works as a waiter at the grill, he walked over to Lilith and asked her what she was doing there, Stefan told Matt to keep quiet because he doesn't want anyone to know.
Matt walks away as Stefan and Lilith sit at their table, Matt goes behind the bar and starts to text Elena, the girl Jeremy was with kept looking at Lilith, once Lilith finally realized she was staring, the girl went to the bathroom, Lilith followed behind her.
"Who are you?" Lilith asked
"Uhm, I'm no one" the girl replied as she tried to walk passed Lilith to leave the bathroom
Lilith then grabs the girls arm and starts to siphon her, the girl screamed, "You're a witch, name, now!" Lilith said
"My names Fenella Hutchinson, I go to school with Jeremy Gilbert, please let go of my arm" Fenella says
"Okay, I have a question for you Fenella, why are you a witch without powers and why did you keep staring at me?" Lilith asked, pushing Fenella to the wall.
"You look familiar, like I just thought I saw you from somewhere before"
Lilith then began to think, this girl never saw Lilith before, she's seen Kellina, "Where did you see me?"
"Uh, my trip to London with Jeremy, you were with this black girl, you two were fighting in the kitchen"
"Maze" Lilith whispered
"What?" Fenella asked
"Nothing, what else did you see" Lilith asked
"I don't know, I saw you both walk towards a freezer and bang on it" she replied
"Okay, but where are your powers?" Lilith asked again.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I've never had powers" Fenella lied
"You're a liar, but I don't really care, I'm sorry about this, it'll hurt," Lilith said as she began to fry Fenella's brain to make her forget that she ever saw Kellina and Mazikeen in London.
Fenella screamed, Stefan, Jeremy, and Matt came running to the women's bathroom, Stefan pulled Lilith away from Fenella as she dropped to the floor, Jeremy kneels down to help her.
"What did you do!" Jeremy yelled
"She knew too much" Lilith said
"Get her out of here man, take her back to Tyler's" Matt said to Jeremy as he picked Fenella up and carried her, "What is wrong with you?"
"I said, she knew too much" Lilith said pushing Stefan off of her
Lilith walks out the bathroom, Stefan walks after Lilith as they both walked out of Mystic Grill, there was the blonde haired male standing across the street from Lilith, staring at her.
Lilith stares back, she looks at the rune, then realizes that Ophelia has woken them up, Lilith then starts to walk across the road to get to him.
A car passed by Lilith and the male was gone, she didn't know where he went, Stefan came out and grabbed Lilith off the road.
"What wrong with you, are you crazy?" Stefan asked, "Hey! are you listening?" Stefan said as Lilith was still staring at the spot she saw the male
"What are you looking at?" Stefan asked
"Nothing, it's nothing" Lilith said looking at Stefan
"You have to be more careful, you're basically mortal now, we don't know what will happen to you if you die" Stefan said
"Okay, I'm sorry" Lilith apologized as she looked into Stefan's eyes.
Stefan then starts to walk Lilith to his car, she sits in the passenger seat as he drives, while Stefan was driving Lilith back to her hotel, Lilith gets harsh visions, images that hurt her head.
She saw Kellina running around, she was screaming, she then saw darkness, nothing but pitch black, she heard screams and a male, Lilith's nose started to bleed, Stefan tried to get Lilith to open her eyes.
When Lilith wouldn't open her eyes Stefan pulled over to try and wake her up, Stefan bites his wrist to feed Lilith some of his blood so she could live, Lilith then coughed up blood all over the car and her clothes.
Stefan shook Lilith, once he let go to call for help, Lilith then banged her head really hard on the dashboard, she passed out. Stefan proceeds to wake her up, he drives as fast as he could to her hotel, he gets to her hotel room and he sees Ophelia open the door.
He forgot that Paige died and Ophelia had taken over, while Ophelia tried to then wake up Lilith by using her magic, nothing worked, no one knew what to do.
Lilith was stuck in the darkness once again.
